If you put a demo on the net and people say it was the finished version then they're going to say it sucks. I really hate that.
I am trying to walk a tightrope; trying to keep the DJ community happy while trying to spread the message about dance music to more people. That is the mission that I am on.
If I had to play only for people who liked the music because they heard it on the radio, it wouldn't make me happy. That's why I'm working so hard to have, yes, a profile as an artist, but also a profile as a DJ.
It's nice because success has allowed me to have a blast on stage, to be in the studio with amazing people, but I find it all a bit bizarre.
I love to make people dance; it's a way of bringing people together regardless of religion, nationality, sexuality, belief.
Even in ancient times, people would unite to a beat. Now we have the internet and events worldwide, our frequency can be shared. Everyone can express themselves to the planet.
What most people want, I guess? I want the individual to know that if we unite, we are not powerless.
My routine is fly, play, sleep, record. My center is the music I am making; when I see people together wherever it is on the planet, that we connect, that's what keeps my heart beating.
I headline concert halls for 20,000 people, but I still play smaller venues.
I want to see unity. I want to see peace. I want people to be free to speak, be educated. I want people to be able to feed themselves.
